Ok, you are right, some Christians would disagree. However, I am Christian, and I know my beliefs are not unique among Christians. Christians come in different flavors, and the kind of debates that occur on DV between Christians and atheists are not usually representative of all of Christianity because most Christians who believe like I do would rather not participate in such debates - they tend to usually attract a certain type of Christian I think who believe in a very different version of Christianity than I do.

I could not agree more about combining Christianity and Buddhism and learning from both. I have been reading Buddhist writings, and I strongly believe that many of Buddhist tenants are compatible with Christianity, and one can learn more from a combination of both. Meditation is not unknown to Christianity. Many Christians throughout the ages have practiced meditation. I have tried it thus far unsuccessfully alas, but I plan to try again.

Anyway, some sources tell, that Jesus was Buddha's follower. Because the bible and Buddhism have many things in common. The only difference is that Buddhists experience God through meditation and purification of the mind and Chirstians experience it through fate. These are two ways. I think it would be best if we would combine knowledge of these two religions and take what we think is the best from each one of it. And in my opinion, meditation is one of the most important things in people's lifes. It doesn't matter if you are a christian or a buddhist. It's just a mental exercise that will help you to see the truth.

Sorry. I am not christian nor buddhist. Just wanted to say a few words here.
